I'm also having mouse problems on a new testing/woody install.
Mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse/PS2.
XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System.
XF86Config-4 Mouse configuration is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I'd earlier removed GPM as I thought it might be the cause of the
problem, but it's not.
What happens is that the pointer will freeze while in use. Switching to
a text console will undo the damage, e.g.:
$ chvt 1; chvt 7
...or the maual equivalent (<ctrl><alt><F1> <alt><F7>).
...no idea what the problem is. Cursory look through logs
(/var/log/XServer.<display> and ~/.xsession-errors) doesn't suggest
anything.
Peace.
